Jon Hamm and Tina Fey have a screen history (30 Rock & Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt) and this time their natural chemistry gets romantic. He plays a sheriff who’s out to solve the murders of 2 women with the same name, while she’s the nosy neighbor who helps him. THEY are the primary reason to watch this film, which has a convoluted and unexciting script. Ironically, most of the best comic moments come from Nick Mohammed as the mild wise-cracking deputy. This was directed by John Slattery (best known as Hamm’s silver fox boss on Mad Men) and he’s done a decent job. Sadly, the writing left too many flaws to keep it from being more than a middling caper without much comedic fun or criminal thrills.
